N7626C• Create Keysight validated and performance optimized reference signals in

compliance with 3GPP based cellular V2X signals (PC5 Sidelink)

• Create cellular V2X signals with fully coded PSSS, SSSS, PSBCH, PSCCH and PSSCH signals and channels

• Provide fixed reference channel (FRC) wizard for cellular V2X signals

• Support multi-UE scheduling

• Accelerate the signal creation process with a user interface based on parameterized and graphical signal configuration and tree-style navigation

Simplify Cellular V2X Signal CreationKeysight Technologies, Inc. Signal Studio software is a flexible suite of signal-

creation tools that will reduce the time you spend on signal simulation. Signal

Studio’s performance-optimized reference signals — validated by Keysight

— enhance the characterization and verification of your devices. Through its

application-specific user-interface you’ll create standards-based and custom

test signals for component, transmitter, and receiver test.

Component and Transmitter Test

Signal Studio’s capabilities use waveform playback mode to create and customize

waveform files needed to test components and transmitters. Its user-friendly interface

lets you configure signal parameters, calculate the resulting waveforms and download

files for playback.

• Parametric test of components, such as amplifiers and filters

• Performance characterization and verification of RF sub-systems and transmitters

Receiver Test

Signal Studio’s advanced capabilities enable you to create fully channel-coded

signals for receiver bit-error-rate (BER), block-error-rate (BLER), packet-error-rate (PER),

or frame error rate (FER) analysis. Applications include:

• Performance verification and functional test of receivers, during RF/baseband integration and system verification

• Coding verification of baseband subsystems, including FPGAs, ASICs, and DSPs

Apply your signals in real-world testing

Once you have setup your signals in Signal Studio, you can download them to a variety

of Keysight instruments. Signal Studio software complements these platforms by

providing a cost-effective way to tailor them to your test needs in design, development

and production test.

X-Series signal generator and X-Series signal analyzer.

Signal Studio generates RF performance optimized V2X waveform which enables

you to characterize the power and modulation performance of your components and

transmitters. Easy manipulation of a variety of signal parameters, including transmission

bandwidth, cyclic prefix, and modulation type, simplifies signal creation.

• Create spectrally-correct V2X signals for channel power, spectral mask, and spurious testing

• Set parameters such as signal bandwidth and channel modulation type (QPSK, 16QAM and 64 QAM) for modulation verification and analysis, such as EVM tests

• View CCDF, spectrum, time domain, and power envelope graphs to investigate the effects of power ramps, modulation formats, power changes, clipping, and other effects on device performance

• Adjust baseband filter to achieve a balance among ACPR, EVM, and narrow resource block spectrum performance

Signal Studio Pro for V2X Licensing: Choosing PC License or Waveform Playback License

Signal Studio Pro for V2X offers two types of license: a PC-based license N7626APPC and a waveform playback license N7626EMBC. And they can make the N7626C software working either in a PC license mode or instrument license mode as the description below.

– N7626APPC is PC based license which enables N7626C software operating in PC license mode to generate and make a live connection to download signal waveforms into multiple signal generators, VSGs, VXTs or VXGs without license requirement. N7626APPC is typically recommended for R&D teams. If the N7626APPC license is installed on an instrument, then it can also work same as N7626EMBC license as instrument license mode.

– N7626EMBC is an embedded license installed on a signal generator, VSG, VXT or VXG, which enables you to generate, make a live connection to download and offline playback V2X waveforms. N7626EMBC is recommended for design and verification or manufacturing teams.

– PC license mode: when N7626APPC license is installed in a stand-alone PC, then the N7626C software is working as the PC license mode. No license is required inside the instrument if generated waveform is downloaded but the downloaded waveform can’t be saved or renamed.

– Instrument license mode: each instrument needs a valid license (N7626APPC or N7626EMBC) to playback waveforms. Waveforms can be saved in signal generators for offline playback.

1. Downloaded waveforms can’t be renamed or stored in non-volatile memory. New download is required to play different waveforms.

2. Waveforms can be saved and renamed in signal generators for offline playback.3. When the waveform is exported as waveform file (*.wfm), then It requires waveform playback license in instrument

(N7626APPC, N7626EMBC or 5/50 pack).4. Offline waveform playback requires embedded waveform playback license (N7626APPC, N7626EMBC or 5/50 pack

license) on X-Series signal generators, PXIe VSG, PXIe VXTs or VXG-m/VXG microwave signal generators.5. N7626APPC is only supported with N7626C Signal Studio Pro for V2X 2020 release or above.
